Which gang is associated with "bat wing tattoos" and typically composed of migrant workers?

Neta's gang
Veto's locos gang
The Bloods
MS-13

The correct answer is: Veto's locos gang

The gang typically associated with "bat wing tattoos" and composed of migrant workers is MS-13. This gang is known for its significant presence among Central American immigrants, particularly Salvadorans, and it has gained notoriety for violent crimes as well as its distinctive gang symbols, which often include tattoos that depict various imagery related to the gang’s identity and activities. The "bat wing tattoos" are representative of MS-13's imagery, showcasing their affiliation and providing a sense of identity among members. These tattoos serve both as a mark of loyalty to the gang and as a way to signify belonging to a larger community of like-minded individuals who often share similar backgrounds as migrant workers. In contrast, the other options either represent different gangs or do not align with the specific characteristics associated with "bat wing tattoos." For example, while Neta's gang is prominent in the Northeast and has its unique symbols, it does not have this particular tattoo association. Similarly, Veto's locos and the Bloods have their tattoos and symbols but are not known for "bat wing tattoos" or primarily comprising migrant workers. MS-13’s specific cultural context and imagery make it the most fitting answer for this question.
